What's the longest lasting Deer target?

Stumps

I've been shooting an 18-1 for several years now, i love that thing. A bag target that is hanging will also last a very long time. The swinging motion really helps it last longer.

Try R and W out of NC.....they seem to hold up very well and our club has used them for years.....

I have  ames deer burlap targets( with the kill areas     broadheads). I KNOW ALL TO WELL ABOUT THE STEAL     arrow repair time) I love a  Heart shot but

Rineharts by far. I've shot a lot of Mckenzies and my buddy has a glendel which we shoot at camp. I bit the bullet and paid the extra foe a rinehart. Glad I did.

I have used Rhinehart, Glendale, and many others and found the Rhinehart last the longest with field points. I have yet to find a target that I can't wear out in a year shooting broadheads. Even my Rhinehart woodland buck has been nearly shot in two pieces since September 2011 when I got the broadheads back out.

I think it helps tremendously to cover your 3D target(s) when you're done shooting them. I put mine(cheap Bass Pro model) in my shed when I'm not shooting it and it has helped it last as long as it has. I made a mistake once and left it outside for about a month or so and I could really tell a big difference in how the weather had shortened how long it's gonna last. And, as already mentioned, broadheads really do them in, and in very short order!

I hope to someday get a Rhinehart.

I have a few of them. The Broadhead Buck is good, the Feeding Doe as well.  I have several of another that I don't see on the website, it is a compact deer that is looking over it's back which enables this target to ship in a smaller box.  

I'm lucky to have a Stone Sheep and a couple turkeys too.  The Sheep is a VERY weak substitute for my fantasy sheep hunt.

I'd love to have the elk!  You can see the deer targets and others at the link below.

most of these have replaceable inserts.

I tune my broadheads to shoot in the same group with my field tips. Once I've done that and checked everthing I have no need to wear my targets out with broadheads.

The Glendale is also a good target. I've gone through 2 inserts in 12 months but I shoot a lot. This is my basement range target that gets a lot of 13-7 yard shooting.

A Boone and Crockett by far!

i have a glen del (150$) it stays outside all the time the head has broken off and i have never rebuilt the vitals. it has taken thousands of arrows.

I think all are very close in durability, the key things are to keep them out of the weather (I store inside) and when outside I make little shelters under recylcled metal roofing (a freinds idea (TDHUNTER) unless placed only for a little while.

I would think.. the one that you see how close that you can get, without actually hitting it

Our 3d club bought a full set of rineheart targets with free replacement cores. They held up great but when we started to replace them we found that rineheart had discontinued the free cores. We decided to go with the McKenzie targets, better value and they hold up just as good. Also the rinehearts are smaller targets for the money. The ASA changed from Rineheart to McKenzie targets.

Ive had most including glendell and the rhinehart will take moe shots than any of them,hands down. If you want to repair them dont use the foam use liquid nails or similar construction glue lasts alot longer.

Rhinehart !......I was going thru a target a year shooting the delta buck and a bass pro brand. bought a Rhinehart 4 years ago and still looks great. BTW I do not use broadheads on my 3-d targets..none will last with BHs.

[rastaman]

I've had both. Now I only use rhinehart.

[limbshaker]

I have a Delta, and it is totally worthless. The foam blows chunks out the back when you hit the vitals. And thats from a 45# Kanati slingin 550gr woodies. I think a layered foam vital section would be the ticket, but my Rhinehart cube-lookin target amazes me everytime I shoot it at how well it holds up. Thats just my experience.

I also say go with the rinehart. They have far outlasted anything else I have purchased over the years. Keep the broadheads away. I love to go stumping but it is nice to have one or two 3-ds around in the backyard. I had a rinehart jackalope that was fun to shoot and I could throw it in my truck and go up the canyons and stake it out on some hills in the sagebrush and shoot at it.
